Yes, it is possible to make your own homemade Rice A Roni in the microwave. My microwave is fairly powerful, so please adjust this recipe to yours accordingly. Mine often just sits in the microwave for a while while I finish dinner, and that way it stays hot and is still good once I fluff it. Ingredients:
3/4 cup white rice, uncooked |
1/2 cup orzo pasta (or you can use broken up angel hair or vermicelli for that more authentic look. i am just time crunc) |
2 tablespoons margarine |
2 1/4 cups chicken broth (i mix from chicken base or bouillon) |
1/4 teaspoon parsley |
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/8 teaspoon onion powder |
Directions:
1. Place rice, orzo (or other pasta) and margarine in a 2 quart heavy glass bowl. Microwave on high 3 1/2 - 4 minutes stirring after every minute (more often toward the end if you use pasta other than orzo) or until pasta is golden brown.
2. Stir in broth (or bouillon) and spices.
3. Microwave 12 minutes on high.
4. Let sit 3 minutes in microwave.
5. Fluff with fork and serve.
